On December 21, 2011, Ancine has started the public consultation proceeding related to the draft of the Normative Instruction that will set forth rules for the presentation and analysis of accountability of public resources invested in projects of its jurisdiction.
The proposal consolidates preexistent rules pertaining to other Normative Instructions and modifies several other provisions of Ancine’s internal regulations. The Normative Instruction aims at improving communication between ANCINE and the regulated agents by simplifying procedures and unifying the rules for accountability. The normative instruction also brings innovations that will confer more agility and effectiveness to the processes.
Some of these innovations deserve attention:
(i) It will allow the remuneration of the promoter agent, since the payment of this sort of professional with public resources is not allowed by the rules currently in force. This change, as a matter of fact, is an old claim from the sector as it will contribute to the process of obtaining resources to enable the production of audiovisual projects;
(ii) It will allow the payment of debts in installments; and
(iii) Projects which the sum of requested changes does not exceed 20% of the total budget will be exempted from requesting ANCINE’s prior relocation.
The Normative Instruction will stay on public consultation here for 60 days.
Stay tuned!
